Fatima Ptacek, the voice for Dora the Explorer, was caught vaping at school and given a suspension. One of the friends she was with was expelled for the same and her parents have filed a lawsuit with the school saying that their reasoning was unfair.

A man created this creepy, lifelike Scarlett Johansson robot with some ingenuity and a 3D printer. Actually, he didn't explicity create a ScarJobot, he based the likeness off a Hollywood celebrity who he does not want to name. But we can make a pretty good guess....

So the likeness is...weird but it seems like the creator, Ricky Ma, is a true robot enthusiast. He says he really just wanted to build a robot and it took a long time (and $50,000) to acquire the parts and skills to come this far. He told the Daily Mirror:

When I started building it, I realised it would involve dynamics, electromechanics and programming. I have never studied programming, how was I supposed to code?

Additionally, I needed to build 3D models for all the parts inside the robot. Also, I had to make sure the robot's external skin and its internal parts could fit together. When you look at everything together, it was really difficult.

Why are celebrities like Miriam Margolyes or Emma Thompson and her husband Greg Wise posing naked with dead fish? To save the fish, of course! Well... not the ones in the pictures obviously but some of their relatives.

This isn't really a new practice. It's part of a non-profit called Fish Love which is aimed at raising awareness of unsustainable fishing practices. Their goal is to teach people how to choose more sustainable fish to eat. Fish Love has been around since 2009 and has photographed many other celebrities in the past like Gillian Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter.

Tony Dyson, known best as the creator of R2-D2, recently passed away in his home in Malta. Now his friends have started a crowdfunding campaign to cover the costs of his funeral services. The GoFundMe page explains:

Sadly, as wonderfully savvy he was with creating, money wasn't one of his strong suits. As the people who love him dearly, we are trying to make his arrangements. His wish was to be donated to science, because he wanted those to look into his brilliant brain. Sadly, due to the circumstances surrounding his death (he died alone in his apartment of natural causes), he wasn't found quickly enough to have this happen. We believe his next wish was to be cremated. We have gotten an invoice for this to happen, and the cost in US Dollars is close to $8000. Needless to say, this is more money than most of his friends have on hand.Malta does not do cremation, so his body has to be shipped to his home country, England. This is the major expense and why it is so costly.

Abe Vigoda had a long and memorable career as a craggy character actor. Who could forget his stunning performances in film and TV shows such as The Godfather, Barney Miller and Goodburger.

Multiple resources the internet used to keep track of Abe Vigoda's life status, including a parody Twitter account and a dedicated website, have had to change their status to reflect this new development. All we have now is this touching tribute from Conan O'Brien featuring some of Vigoda's best appearances in sketches on the show.

A man that looks like Bradley Cooper, but isn't, has been spotted causing trouble at Sundance this weekend by using his uncanny looks to crash a party for a film. This might be him, having a great time as the celebrity he always knew he should be:

According to a bystander who spoke to Page Six about the incident, he made quite a scene as he was escorted out:

“He said, ‘You’re done for!’ and would not give ID,” said a spy of the “star” when he was confronted by security. “He pushed a button on an iPhone and had a picture of ‘The Hangover’ as his screensaver.”
